Playfighting Elephants II

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks very quiet in here, are you all looking for Easter eggs ?
I found one and will put it into the nest for you………...

Some two elephants as yesterday , just some minutes later…………… still playing , but on the way they lost the color ………. , somehow.

WDYT? I am not really happy with the sky ??!!

C&C as always very welcome

Hi Andreas -Good action but I prefer the prior post. For me the dark band across the fg is too dominant and a distraction. Also the rump of the ele on the left seems a bit more prominent here. Just my $.02.

TFS,
Rachel

I quite like this, Andreas. I like the toning and texture of the elephants and the dust adds a lot.
I would lighten the dark FG band, though?
